From the analysis I saw in Sweden, the conclusions was that the wast majority of deaths were caused by failures in the elderly care. The pandemic spread like wildfire by the overworked personal who did not get protective gear or time to keep health standards. Some did not even have time to wash their hands between patients. The wast majority of housing for elderly is also located near the capital, similar to Copenhagen in Denmark, resulting in major hot spots for the virus. The government body responsible for supervision and control over healthcare also came to the conclusion that care for the elderly had critical flaws during the pandemic, with only half of patients meeting a doctor in person and as high as 1/5 of patients never even got to talk to a doctor. None of the international discussions about restrictions has been about restrictions around elderly care. Sweden did actually issue some, which some described as prison-like for those impacted, but that was about a year into the pandemic. It was also seen as too late, with vaccine and proper staff/gear/protocols being more effective tools.
